It is because of this belief that the class of 1925 has attempted by gath- ering material from every other class to make this year's book show more than ever the activities and spirit of the student body at the present time. It will be observed that the past year has been a year of rapid development. In fact, during the four years we have been in Cran- ston, many improvements have been made. The library has grown from approximately 500 to 2,000 volumes. Physical training has been changed from the dull ten-minute drills twice a day to snappy two-minute exercises before every class with a well balanced forty- minute period of drills and games once a week. Both boys and girls now have a permanent athletic coach, hired solely for that purpose. Hockey pennants were hung in the hall in 1922 and 1923. During our first two years Cranston had a prosperous debating team, which won a cup from East Providence in 1922. The school joined the Rhode Island Honor Society two years ago and since then has added many worthy members. .Last, and perhaps most important of all. the Student Council, formed in our Sophomore year, has progressed rapidly, controlling corridor traffic and developing both class and home-room organizations. The outlook for the future, therefore, with the expectation of a new building soon, is very bright. However, there is much that we should like to remain to see done. Absolute satisfaction with existing conditions should be con- stantly guarded against. .The improvements which we have but begun need to be expanded, while others need to be started. The Thyrsus Club plays are excellent, but some system should be devised whereby more students might take part in dramatics. .Along with this, public speaking should be encouraged by debates in the class- room and in the hall, which would lead to the revival of debating societies. As there are many who can not dance, an occasional class social should be held which would give every one a. chance to make new friends and perhaps to learn to dance. A student committee should be appointed to plan student programs for Monday morning assemblies. Pupils should be chosen to help in the library, taking charge of the bulletin board, advertising new books, suggesting books that should be read on various occasions, and doing other services there. The library would then have the atmosphere of a school pos- session appreciated and controlled by the students. In fact, there are ldlvkt .www V ,sigma-. 2.e.iaslr:si.w: :Sl ld: till l I Y 2-1. ,- mill Ltli lei ps ,v- l 'I is 4.2- .ei 553 will 5-! .ilk 'f isa .fda T E lil 9 I I P' l fig? ll 5 TQ tp gg., Z many other matters the students could and should effectively handle The way to practically all of these acttuttzes lies tn the power of the Student Council But to obtain them only broad mznded stu dents with the destre to make their school better should be elected to the Counczl Two dangers ln particular should be auorded in the electron of representatives that of electing a student merely because of a high scholastic standing and that of electtng a student because of popularzty Either of these types ts apt to have too much znterest rn other subjects The best representative ts the one wzllzng to glue up tzme to study the situations that come before a Student Council A Council of actwe thinkers acttng on tts own znztzatzve could soon brmg about changes such as those suggested The Student Council should buzld on the respect of the pupils and in so dozng prosper Realzzzng the broadened minds we have obtained through con tact wzth our fellow students under the guidance of our teachers we believe that those who followzng us undergo the same changes will want to carry on the work we have started With the sincere belief that both students and alumnae are working toq better condztzons rn their school the 1925 CRANSTONIAN Board wzll feel justly re paid for its strenuous labors zf thts edztzon of the CRANSTONIAN spurs them on to greater efforts TO A FIREFLY Fireily, thou tiny bearer of the light, The light of blue and green, Why dost thou flit unseen O'er the dewy lawn at twilight? 'Mid the sweet-briar roses thy lamp so bright Shines with a silver sheen. Torch of the fairy queen Is thy clear lantern at night. O Firefly, art thou a star Dropt from the deep, blue sky, Lost on this green earth of ours? Is that why thou gleam'st in hollyhocks far? Search not for thy home on high, But stay in this land of flowers. DOROTHY LEE CHAMPLIN. 5 -, .,-f x '-ni-x:lK' 'gal , X 5 ay Q 1 FK' . -'yi' 'e 1 , 1' , 1 - 5 A, lg 'xi , xxx! , l 1 ll ill l ' '.

Suddenly in the distance, I saw a banner shining out through the pale lavender mist, surrounded with green lights, which bore the inscrip- tion Class of 1925-C. H. S. At once I recalled that it was the night of the reunion, which I had almost forgotten. Dressing hurriedly, I rushed out, and before I realized it, had reached the athletic field of the new high school. The program was well under way. Raymond Jenkins, our class presi- dent of l925, held the floor. Char- lotte Stickney told us of her news- paper work: Dot Jones, with Ruth Spink and Bill Moody, gave a few physical training exercises: and Evelyn Arnold and Betty Dennis sang. Where's Grace Law? Right here! Just a minute and I'll tell you how to cook-anything you want to know, but Frank Jen- nison is paying the last installment of his class dues. Elinor Margerum explained in trigonometry just how she remem- bered the, date of the reunion. and Eloise Tabor read us some of her Latin Poems, while Evelyn O'Brien, so glad at seeing everybody, could do nothing but clap and laugh. Harry Sklut-next! Harry arose, told us of his new medicine, a sure cure for all ills, and gave us each a sample bottle. Where's Harry Seelen? Oh, he couldn't be here, but he - f' 5521 . A i Z '-'agua T9 L:gif':5?-ii-t..:r:i:siSdafi,m f,EFihu'2'f'5 :3-L sends his most diplomatic regards to all. Everything was coming to an end, when Christine Whitmore said, Where's Leah? I bet she's off somewhere with her mouth turned down at the corners as usual. No, she isn't here., You know she took up the homely art of teach- ing, and had to go to a conference to-night: but I found, in her scrap book this poem that was written in 1925: and under it was scribbled, 'I didn't have the courage to put this into the Cranstonian BoX.' It dis- plays our feelings as our Senior year drew to a close. The title is: A SENIOR'S PLEA Why must I write of the things that we did. Not the things that we wanted to do? Of the dreams that we dreamt and the castles we built Thar sometime perhaps will come true? Why must I tell you we dwelt in the dust When our souls were gone up to the stars? Why must I tell you we failed, as we must, Who aspired above bricks and street cars? Why can't I say that the hopes that we had, And the knowledge we never could use, And the unassigned lessons we learned with- out marks Are the truths that we never can lose? Why must we claim outward follies and waste, Not the dreams that we never discuss? For masters and mates, not the things that we did. But the things that we dreamed-That was us! L. SPENCER, June.

FLORENCE LOUISE ALFORD G. A. A. C15 C25 C35: Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35. It may be a long reach from chemistry to dressmaking, but it isn't beyond the reach of Florence: for she not only likes chemistry, but is very adept at sewing. Nor is she alone content with the realms of science and domestic arts, but she must try her hand at playing the piano. She does not intend to further her education along the classical line, but is going to Miss Gibbs' Secretarial School. AL VA LOUISE ANDERSON G. A. A. C15 C25 C35 C45: Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C451 Class Vice-President C451 Library Committee C45. Alva is the shorter of the Anderson twins. She has com- pleted the Classical course and is now at R. I. C. E. studying to be a librarian. Alva has been an enthusiastic rooter at all school games and has ever been ready to lend a hand. She is a great bookworm. Plays are her joy. Is there a play in the Edge- wood Library that she has not read? Add to Alva's love of books a sweet disposition, diligence, and patience, and you will see why some large library is destined to have a great librarian. ALVAN ANDERSON B. A. A.

We have never tried to count the number of Andersons that have passed through Cranston, but we know Alvan stands head and shoulders above them all. His pet diversion, outside of talking to the young ladies, has been the Thyrsus Club, of which he has always been a prominent member. I-Iis acting in the annual Thyrsus Club play has won him much applause. The B. A. A. minstrel has also given Andy a chance to show his talent. Andy with his wavy hair is very popular at Cranston. I-Ie is going to R. I. State College. l13l IDA MAY ANDERSON G. A. A.

The fact that Ida is a twin does not prove she is exactly like Alva. She has tastes and habits all her own. She loves children and many are the times that she has sacrificed a good movie to stay home and tell stories to some child. She has read books galore, which is evident from her conversation. Movies are her specialty, and she is a veritable encyclopedia of actors. Now at R. I. C. E. she is taking the library course, but perhaps we may hear of her as a kindergarten teacher. HOPE LINCOLN ANTHONY O. A. A, qzp up 149. Thyrsus Club 415 qzp my 443. Hope has made a creditable showing in her studies and several times appeared on the honor roll. She loves little children, and is particularly fond of dancing and all outdoor sports, so much so that last year she procured a truck to take the rooters to the football games. She left us in February and has obtained a fine position at the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Company. EVELYN MARY ARNOLD O. A. A. up qzp 435 1455 Thyrsus Club up Q25 up 443 There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face: for by looking at Ev one would never think her capable of cut- ting up : yet she told us secretly, when asked. that she did love to raise the dickens at times. Just taking long walks and talking with some one interesting pleases her as much as any- thing. She likes to sing. too. Typewriting holds a certain charm for her, and in the future she intends to go into secretarial work. IHI . L.-1 fx H ui -1. , 'xg . ,.. . mf '1 Jflg? N. ,-' 11- xg H1 ' A- l.f -N.

One day he dashed into the lunch room i and loudly demanded two audio frequency tubes with mustard W - and a bottle of No. 22 copper wire. After convincing the stu- in 'A dents that he was harmless, Stan was allowed to remain in school. His work on the track squad is memorable. This spring he bids fair to make the team. Stan is planning to attend a radio school and to become a radio engineer.

Earnest started his career at the age of 4W, when he assumed the role of innocence with an empty jam jar under the couch: next the child prodigy recited verse to large audiences. In High School he perfected his dramatic career, his running as a track candidate, and his Hne voice as an orator. He has lately devel- oped into a capable business manager of this book. Doc tells us he is going to Kingston, with M. l. T. as his ultimate goal. RUTH FRANCES BARNES T .. G. A. A. C11 C21 C31 C412 Thyrsus Club C31 C41: Library . J . - -I If an impressionist should paint a picture of Ruth's mind, it fl would be a tennis racket across a book. for these are her two main interests in life, developing her mind with her books, and V1 her body with playing tennis. Our earliest recollection of 'I Ruth's talent was when she used to favor us in Kindergarten with piano solos. She still is quite accomplished along that ., line. She must prefer the domestic to the line arts, for next . year she goes to Kingston to learn to be a good-we won't Q say what-but she is to study Domestic Science.

And how fast she chatters! She hardly stops for breath. Movies and games, altho she likes them, would have little attraction if she wasn't allowed to talk during, them. She is going to Kingston in the fall. but has not decided yet what course she will take. FRANCES BOWERMAN G. A. A. Q11 Q21 Q31 Q4-1: Thyrsus Club Q11 Q21 Q317 Treasurer Ci. A. A.

A. A. KID: Thyrsus Club CID C29 131. Florence says she really has no hobby, altho dancing, auto- mobile riding. her club. and Norman interest her most: nor no shining virtue. unless it be her nose: but she has a pet antipathy to English. Many are the times we have heard her denouncing vehemently such illustrious men as Milton and Macbeth. She is given over at times to moods, sometimes carefree and happy. sometimes downhearted and worried, but she is always very sympathetic. She has not yet decided on her future. ALICE ELAINE BURDON G. A. A. 145. Although Elaine has been with us but a year, her pleasant, straight-forward manner has won her many friends. She enjoys dancing, plays the mandolin and ukeleli, enjoys seeing a good moving picture. and delights in driving her father's Ford. One needs no further evidence to gather that she is a typical girl of the age. She is well known for her beautiful eyes and incessant conversation. Elaine tells us that she has set teaching as her goal. MARY CATHERINE CHISHOLM Thyfsus Club up qzp 433: G. A. A. up 425 on 445. Catherine left us last January and somehow Cranston seemed a very gloomy place for several weeks. But Cat longed for her delightful corner in Room I3 and for the many friends she had made here: so she came back to us one morning and the world seemed right again. She delights in dancing, skating, and all outdoor sports. She plans to enter the business world, but it is hard to imagine our fun-loving Cat shut into an office. However, she may change her mind in regard to her career. as she changed it when she left us in January. l17l RUTH LINDSAY CLOWES G. A. A. C31g Thyrsus Club 131. Ruth has always been the same quiet, rather prim, and accom- modating person that she is now. She loves little children: and whenever possible she has one with her, either in a carriage or by her side. During her stay at C. H. S. she has often received awards for her excellent work in typewriting. Next fall she intends to make use of this ability by going into secretarial work. LUCY ANGELA COLLINS G. A. A.

She likes to play all kinds of selections on the piano, from classics, lullabies, and old folk songs to the latest jazz hits. She is good-natured and friendly, and enjoys reading. She intends to go to the Rhode lsland School of Design. A RICHARD WARDWELL CONKLIN B. A. A.

Dick is not active in athletics. but has shown the true school spirit by loyally supporting all the student organizations. As a marshal. he has been a terror at dispersing groups of innocent merry makers and stopping runs in the corridors. As an Editor- in-Chief, he has shown remarkable qualities of leadership. Dick has a streak of bashfulness. which appears at odd times: for instance, when approached concerning his future prospects. he became so embarrassed that he could only mumble Uncertain- uncertain. l13l ,, .-,,. as-sv. . .

You surely remember Edith Barnard, our old pal: she is as talkative as ever. I met her last week. She is no longer a salesgirl in Shepard's. but Mr. Shepard's private secre- tary. May LeRiche, the quiet, little girl of our class. has married a prominent business man of Boston. Helen Peterson has opened a Beauty Shop across from the high school and has all the trade that she can handle. Catherine Larkin. the musician of the class. is a piano teacher at the Conservatory of Music in Boston. and hopes to open a school Hovsborl - in Providence in the near future. I met Lil- lian Johnson not long ago. She has opened a tea room and taken Esther Johnson into business with her. You remember how bril- liant Florence McKnight was? She is a teacher at the Chandler Shorthand School. Pearl Shindler has a large fashion shop in Providence and Astrid Dalgren is her book- keeper: the business ought to progress. Miss Barrett was left a legacy and has re- tired from school. Wasn't she a wonderful teacher? I know you will be amazed when you read about the talent of our classmates. I will try to come and spend a week-end with you soon so that we can talk over the good old days at Cranston High School. Your old classmate, DoT TAYLOR.

They didn't look very smart, but then looks are deceiving. Before the class had been here long, the upper classmen began to nod knowingly: and when several months had passed, they showed their approval openly. Why, How- ard Droitcour won some letters before the year was over. Several of the members were on the Honor Roll and some even had straight A reports. One Monday morning early the following February, there was a most decided change in the appearance of the class. Hair ribbons were discarded for marcel waves, knickers for long trousers. They were growing up: they were Sophomores now. They even had a member, Elsa Maertens, on the Student Council. Several of the boys went in for athletics and two of the girls for basket ball. They were just beginning to show the others. Before anyone realized it, they were Juniors. Officers must be elected l43l now After much thought the mem bers decided that Kingsley Read was duly installed Louise Mc Namara was elected vice president Audrey Watson secretary an Howard Droitcour treasurer Er ling Owren Kingsley Read and Howard Drortcour became popu lar football heroes Catherine Mac Kay was captain of the basket ball team and Charlotte Halleran one of th best players A member of the class was a marshal and there were at least three musicians Carl Malm Marion Davis proved that she could sing by her part in the Minstrel Show While all this was happen ing time was flying Now that class is a semor class They have been Seniors just two months and already have furnished a captain of the mar shals and a pres1dent for the Student Council RUTH MARTIN 26 Another Edison Questionnaire' fAllow one minute for eachj ls Cranston going have a new up to date high school?

Slowly the hands of time turned back, the years rolled away from me, and I found myself again a Junior in dear old Cranston High, travelling through the corridors arm in arm with a friend, or shouting and cheer- ing my loudest as Mat Evers tore down the field for a touchdown, or Arty Allenson knocked 'a Homer. The Juniors of our class always shone at Cranston High. I was back again, in Room 17, in the midst of a group of fellow suffer- ers,-Eleanor Rydberg, Charles Ca- pace Dick Barrett Edith Wood- bury and Grace King who were vainly trying to puzzle out a diflicult translation while Miss Holt laugh ingly informed us that it wasn t hard at all I lived again through that feverlsh day when Miss Thompson informed us that twenty themes must be written into our English notebooks and they were due on the following day Of course we had youths we had put it off from day to day and found that the day of reck oning had come too soon Most of us managed however by hook or crook as they say As the years Ili, i e?f-,Lf 11,7 ., 4-1 x.. have gone by, I have realized more and more the value of those things I once considered so trifling. I travelled again through the pages of Review Algebra, progressing sometimes with ease, sometimes with difliculty. I revelled again in the bloody acts of Les Trois Mousquetaires, and laughed at Monsieur Perrichon's ego- tism and pride. Once more I ate in the lunch room, once more I dashed wildly through a hungry mob, holding perhaps a bowl of clam chowder in one hand. and ice cream in the other, Tragedies were again avoided by a cautious step, a precarious turn. My greatest joys came back to me my greatest sorrows likewise I suffered the agony of two hour exams and rejoiced in the privilege of being excused from them I could not stay forever in former times however so I came back to the present I have put the beloved book away back on the dusty shelf I shall never again turn those yellow pages to glance at the laughing faces The memory of the past does not bal ance in Joy the facts of the present I shall never look at the book again Would you?

Great sparks were shooting through the heavens. Using a larger telescope, I barely discerned a huge aerial. Rushing over to my 1521 super-heterodyne, I heard a distant voice say, This is station X on Mars, John Suda announcing. It was then that I learned why the sparks were seen.

I suddenly asked Beth, as the sound of laughing and talking struck our ears. It certainly sounds as if it came from the library, said Beth. As we wended our way along the dark hall, sure enough, we saw a light, a door ajar, and we quietly slipped into a dark corner to watch for the people whom we thought we had heard. As we looked, we saw young and old men and women, and even some children, who all seemed to be hav- ing a jolly time as they mingled to- gether. Some were dressed in the Grecian style, some in the attire of old England, and some in the cos- tume of America in the 'AEighties. Because of my love of books and be- cause I always wondered how book people would act alive, I began to venture from my dark corner and crept cautiously along until I was right beside a group which was earn- estly talking. Then I recognized the inimitable Jo of Little Women, who, in spite of the reproachful glances and whispered cautions of her dignified sister, Meg, was freely talk- ing to Ivanhoe. I can still see Jo as she stood there, her short hair, which had been c.ut for a sacrifice, now neatly enclosed in a net. Little did she know when it was cut that she would be in style for to-day. This was their conversation. 'AI think this is the best time we 54 have ever had in this library, said Jo. Yes, answered Ivanhoe, I was really beginning to get stiff crammed in that bookcase, waiting for a Fresh- man to take me out and read me. No armor that I ever wore seemed quite as stiff as my book cover. Besides, I can't seem to get myself used to this quiet place after having spent most of my time in battle or in tourna- ments. And my fine horse.-how I should like to take a canter with her now! I am glad I shall have a chance to see this wonderful Odysseus that all the lA Freshmen are so enthusias- tic about. He seems like a line man, but a little boastful. I am sure he would have had enough adventures fighting for King Richard in Old England. Look, there is the Ancient Mariner talking to Ichabod Crane! The Ancient Mariner still has the habit of pouncing on some innocent creature like Ichabod and scaring him half to death with his woeful tale. Ichabod is so superstitious that I guess the Headless Horseman could not scare him more than the Mariner probably will. His knees are shak- ing so much that we shall have to help him into his book cover, said Jo. l'Yes, replied Ivanhoe, 'land he will probably lose his monstrous ap- petite, which I guess will be a relief T-,TTT 1. mqi , 'f, f f' '. ff '-s--Q-, -f .im-'-T I flkliliglllllilll i N--.Ll ,f f lllllllllll lllllllllll 515 5.

She is also talking to Madame Defarge as if she was as friendly with her as she is with Mr. Lorry or any other friend of hers. I don't see how she can stand that woman with her steady stare and her knitting, which reminds one of shroudsf' said Jo. As Jo spoke, my attention was drawn to two boys, one in rich, the other in poor clothes, whose facial expressions and size were so nearly alike that I wondered if they were would be dressed more alike. As I glanced around at the different groups, I heard a loud crash, Turn- ing I saw a boy fooling with the statue of Mercury. I decided that he must be Tom Bailey's Bad Boy. I did not have time to really find out, because after the crash those book lore folk began gradually to fade from my sight until I was, yes, there I was sitting at my desk with A Tale of Two Cities lying before me waiting to be studied. MARGARET B. MILLIKEN, '27, -1-llT. Block lsland from South County A person who is fortunate enough to live in South County is sure to see Block Island in its various and pleas- ing moods. When one looks out across the water on a bright day, the island stands out as clean-cut as a cameo, or an image carved from gran- ite. The tallest of the buildings shows plainly, while the others ap- pear like a heavy growth on the is- land. On such bright days the island is surrounded by a sparkling blue, and the island seems nearer the main- land. A few days before the coming of a storm, a light fog bank gathers, and the point of the island seems to stand out of water. The buildings become hazy and blue, and the Water loses its sparkle. It even appears to be lower in its basin. When the storm comes, the island is usually not visible, although a glimpse appears if the fog lifts for a moment. At such times, only the 5 barest outline shows in the heavy dis- tance. The foghorns blow at regu- lar intervals, and to this lonesome moan the heavy curtain descends. The island is swallowed up and we never expect to see it again. Early the next morning it slowly emerges like magic from the water in the black form of a huge whale or long submarine. The Water brightens, turns blue, and finally begins a lively sparkling. The sun strikes the distant buildings, cutting their outline out of the horizon, and a window shines in the early morning light. As late afternoon comes, the Water becomes a lazy, dull ripple, and the sparkle slowly fades. The sun turns everything to a rosy red, and the buildings seem to huddle closer to- gether for the night. The island is just a black outline, but the light- houses begin to twinkle as the ships sail slowly by. Then the island leaves us like a dream. LLOYD PHILLIPS, '27, 5 .. A CRANS TOM L., The Clock Br r r r ring' Ah' That was a long one Just long enough to let the last stray1ng pupil dash into his room Now two minutes of Physi cal Training before I ring again This job is perfect I have a higher position than anyone in this room including the teacher I hold every one in the hollow of my hand These people must wearily keep up their unpleasant exercise until I see fit to put a stop to it How pleased they are when I ring again' They leap to their seats Are they anxious to quit Physical Torture or eager to get to their studies? The Freshmen in the study seats unable to study look at me and fig ure out when this period ends and the next begins Others stare at me to see when and how I jump The lesson proceeds with a short test Oh! If the unsuspecting teacher could only hold my lofty position she would see more. The teacher looks too comfortably settled in her chair. I guess at my next jump I'll make her rise and look at the ther- mometer by the window. There! She saw me jump. She looks at me pleadingly, then angrily, and sud- denly obeys my whims. The period draws to a close. Some unprepared and unsuspecting student is called on to recite. I watch him rise to his feet. He sees me just 56 as I jump and realizes that it is very near the end of the period' Only one or maybe two more minutes' A sp1r1t of hope fills him Can he stall one minute? He takes a chance and asks meekly 1f the teacher will please repeat the question She does so The pupil pauses or should we say stalls for a few seconds and says with mustered courage I don t quite understand your question His instructor immediately tries to enl1ghten him while the wayward student looks at me pleadrngly beggingly pass1onatelyl He IS en tirely at my mercy The teacher is near the end of her short explana tion Anyone who had merely glanced at the lesson could easily an swer this question Why should I save this boy from his well deserved punishment? If I remember rightly he once threw a spit-ball at me Does he deserve any help from me? I have four seconds to decide his fate. But I might as well be decent to the poor fellow. There! Br-r-ring! The pupils stand and walk out. The boy plays his part well and makes believe that he'would answer if the class hadn't interrupted. With a look of glowing gratitude on his per- spiring countenance, he bolts for the door and I feel satisfied at doing a good turn. GEORGE WISE, JR., '27. lmnnnnmmmmnmmmnu c 9 AW 5, 1 umnmnmmmuuumw QJCRANH N a 1-n WR-nwiw A Real Vacation In the spring of 1920 I was just recovering from an operation I was very weak but gaining strength rap idly When school let out I had got so that I could handle my horse I also had a pony but he was harder to manage than the horse. We had four months of vacation that summer because of the illness of the teacher. Eight months is the minimum requirement for a school year in Michigan. The school was a one-room building with twenty hard-working students, all of whom decided by unanimous vote that the four month's vacation was a good step in the right direction. The pasture on our farm was dry with very little in it for cows. I was accordingly set to work herding cows in a field with a good supply of green grass. On two sides of the field there was a fence. On the other two were an oat and a corniield. At seven o'clock every morning I took the cows to water and from there to l57l ' 0 Willllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the field The job would have been easy if all I had had to do was to herd old gentle cows but there some young stock that were as tle and lazy as the others when were hungry. The rest of the the job was like trying to hold the wind back In the morning I would make believe I was some in- trepid hunter on his noble steed or that I was a cowboy on the plains and that all I could see was' cows. Another pet diversion was keeping the woodchucks in that field in a state of fear. I would play I was a hunter, and when I saw one, I would try to sneak up on it. If I got near enough to throw a rock at it, I thought I had accomplished the im- possible. Along with these exciting hunting experiences, there were many trifling incidents which kept the days from growing monotonous. One day I was rudely awakened from my dreams to ind the cows in the corn. I chased them all out but were gen they time Clin N ,-as-are-as Q-., ,f ex, I . ff, . f---Q--W 'i '1',- L ff .- - ' re-are- 1.. ,' 4..- 141 'sgQf4,., ig Xl, UH i il ' ' 1, , 'gi U jg?

There's Al Durfee won't even look at Jack Libby since the town awarded Jack the ice rights to Fry's Pond. Mr. Allen's philosophy was sound: but quite naturally he did not believe that it applied to himself. He referred to a rather childish quar- rel over Fry's Pond, in which Libby had won out. Then, like a seven- year old, Durfee wouldn't play any more, and went about town slander- ing Libby. However, Jack Libby had not entirely put away childish things. Not at all. He went around town with the air of a tri- umphant Caesar. Jim had unconsciously expressed the opinion of the rest of the citizens of the small town of Harrisburg, but his chances for further self-expression were cut short, as the grinning victor headed towardx the shady doorway. ilWal' I cak'late the heat's aH'ect- ing Al, hey? said he. As like the innkeeper in Silas Mar- ner, Jim Allen had long ago decided that both were right and both were wrong, he continued to steer a mid- dle course. Now I wouldn't say that precisely, though, he did act a bit uppity, but I guess he's all right. Say, Jim Allen, I'll be derned if I think you'd oughter be the one to praise him. Ain't you heerd the ru- l59l mors that he's gonna sell that extry land of his'n down on the crossroads by the river to a city barrel comp'ny: 'n that would put a crink in this cooper shop of your'n fer fair,-now wouldn't it? Hey! What's the matter with you? Ain't you heerd that afore? The peaceful look on Allen's face changed. It was different when the trouble hit home. His mind began to work rapidly. UNO, I hadn't heerd it afore, but now you speak of what those two city ' here yestidayf' these seeds of doubt, former peacemaker it, maybe that's fellers was doin Having sown Libby left the formulating a plan of battle. The law of self-preservation, which is noticed in a slight degree in child- hood, was now working in propor- tionately larger degree in the man, and the desire to remain neutral fell before it. He reflected a while and then brought his list down with a slam and a By gum! If that's Al Durfee's idea, I'll show him a trick or two. Now I know why Al's been steering clear of here. I only hope that fool, Jack Libby, comes in early to-morrow, 'cause I can use him. During the night his plan attained perfection, and the next morning Jim Allen opened shop half an hour before his employees were due. Luck was with him, as he caught Libby on his way home from delivering milk to the early train. If you're not in a hurry, I'd like to see you a minute, Jack, he called.

CLARA THOMAS, ' 2 7. XllllllllllllllllllllilllllllIlllllllii The Student Council OWREN READ !'up1u.'n nj .llurslmlx l'n'si11ru! JENKINS l'ii'r-l'n'.ti1ln1l When, a few years ago, the matter of a Student Council was brought before the student body of Cranston High School, the students, having signified their desire for this organi- zation, promised to back it up. It was to be regarded as an experiment, which, failing, was to be abolished. Three years have passed. The Stu- dent Council still exists, as an experi- ment, and will do so until it shall come to be considered by the student body as a necessary and stationary organization. 62 lll'1I.liN HOGAN Sn I'l'flll'j'-Tft'lISlH'I'l' Let us look through the short years of its existence to see what has been accomplished thus far. A sys- tem of marshals has been installed. No one can deny that this has been a successful venture. The appear- ance of the school and of the students has been vastly improved by it. No longer does one see those almost fatal collisions in the corridors which were once so common. Racing through the corridors has almost ceased, as have other stunts of the last- minute students. Through the representation of all QQ CRA NS TOJWAIV :it Nl H 4 llllllllllllllllllllllllli - Erik-45 classes on the Council, the latter has been able to get in touch with the students and find out their needs and wants. Consequently many slight matters have been cleared up for the students which otherwise would have continued. The marked im- provement in behavior on cross- town and special cars has been an- other of the accomplishments of the Council through much thought and work. Marshals are now used at class meetings and in the future they will attend dances- to take the place of chaperoning teachers. A new point system was installed this year by which each student is allowed to hold a limited number of points points being given for oflices in classes and in other organizations in sports and in plays This is one of the most constructive things the Council has done All have equal chance for honors and no one person can hold too many The Council has also made regulations concerning the payment of class dues another source of Joy especially to class treas A voting system has been 1nst1 tuted which is used for all class or ganizations and all others having a membership of fifty or more This system has a two fold purpose one to carry on school elections in a more accurate and business like way the other to train students as future voters The voting is done exactly 63 Xfij ji all as civil voting is done. In fact, the same booths are used as those used in official state and city voting. There are the ordinary legal ofiicials: mode- rator clerks and a policeman. Vot- ing is conducted under the same con- ditions of privacy The same ruling is held in regard to defective ballots as is held in regular elections. A primary and a regular election are held at an interval of a week The Student Council acts as a Returning Board for counting the votes and also bears the entire expense of the election. Printed ballots are used at both elections. Until very recently there were fif- teen members on the Council ten students and five teachers. A amendment however has just been added to the Constitution which in creases the number to thirty three thirty two students and one teacher The officers for last semester were as follows Chairman John Martin Vice Chairman Christine Whitmore Secretary Treasurer Helen Hogan The oflicers for the present semester Chairman Raymond Jenkins Secre tary Treasurer Helen Hogan In the next few years we hope that the Student Council will have be come a permanent organization at Cranston High School It was the first Student Council in the state and we hope that it will also be the best HELEN HOGAN 26 QQ .

I. Honor Society were announced. As each student's name was called, he ascended to the plat- form, where his list of merits was im- pressively given by Mr, Bosworth, and his pin and certilicate awarded. The following were elected to the society this year: Howard Droitcour, May Hanson, Catherine Mackay, Elin Malmborg, Harry Sklut, Audrey Watson, Christine Whitmore, Leah Spencer. 66 After this ceremony, Dean Bur- well, of Brown University, spoke to us on education in general. He told how education was carried on in the old days, and how it has advanced in both secondary schools and colleges, taking Brown as an example. He em- phasized the fact that now schools do not wish to turn out a standardized product, with a narrow education fitted for one phase of life alone, but individuals ready to carry on many phases of work, ready to lead a good American life. competent in many things.

His room was filled with a glow brighter than sunlight. Outside he heard a rumbling and crackling and splashing. He was too terror-striken to move. Then he heard several frightened neighs. Springing to the window, he popped his head out, but could see nothing except a red sky. He leaped out, and running towards the stable, bumped into Farmer Snow, who was rushing to the pump in frenzied excitement. Hurry up, boy! he called. Get some water-the stable's on fire! Are the animals still in there? Yes, every one of them! Tom Stone untied the halters a while ago, but he couldn't get the stubborn l68l gk! beasts out They re probably run ning about inside there now Hurry up boy get some water' Larry hurried but he saw that the fire had gone too far to leave any hope of putting 1t out in time to save the livestock The neighboring farmers were rushing pails of water from the pump to the fire but no one dared venture through the scorching flames and suffocating smoke which blocked the doorways to reach the poor frightened animals within An idea popped into Larry s head He dashed back to his room through the window grabbed his harp and in two seconds was back again at the fire He plucked the harp strings ex perimentally and then began to play a merry ragtxme The farmers gasped with amaze ment Wondering why the others had stopped Farmer Snow stopped and looked too. On seeing Larry he nearly burst with anger. You young idiot he snarled drop that piece of junk and fetch some water. But Larry continued to play. Farmer Snow sprang at him and was about to snatch the harp, when a cow stuck her head out of the smok ing doorway and, giving a fright ened moo, leaped out into the cool, night air. Behind her bolted an other cow, and another, and another. Larry moved off to the South Meadow, still playing his harp, all the cows and horses following him. When the farmers finally under- stood, a hearty cheer filled the air. As for Farmer Snow, he was too be- wildered to do anything but stare. The next morning it was a tired family that sat at the breakfast table ximmumnunuu mmu i muumunnmuunmw 65 CRANSTUNI silently eating Mrs Snows delect able waflies At length Farmer Snow after clearing his throat sev eral times began to speak Young feller he said to Larry I was intendin to take you back to the orphan asylum Monday when I take them tomaters to townl but I guess we might jest as well see the thoritxes bout doptlng you while we re en town Assembly On Monday morning I start out seriously and sedately by being an assembly hall During that period there are hymns sung responsixe reading and sometimes a speech Afterward it is a class or club presi dent who blushes through an an nouncement Once in a while it is some man of the world who Gives a talk full of enthusiasm after which the orchestra plays the pupils depart and I am left alone until after two- thirty. Then the orchestra meets for practice. On Tuesday there are girls, all day long, marching, running, or dancing over the floor. They go through a series of contortions, and then swing some queer-shaped things, always hitting those of their neigh-1 bor. Wednesday is my day for music. First the chorus meets, one week the girls and another week the boys. Then comes the Girls' Glee Club.

With Thursday come th girls again for the club-swinging and marching. Part of my space is used several days of the week for milli- nery and sewing and there is usually an undertone of talk going on in spite of the instructor. The girls had the part-time program all worked out. and it isn't all that they had planned. I am used as an assembly hall, gymnasium, sewing room, music hall, dance hall, theater, and every day all the time as a crossing place. What was I made for, anyway?

Captain Frank Guy Armitage made us a visit just before our Christmas vacation. He gave impersonations of Dickens' characters. and amused us with ventriloquism. The proceeds of the entertainment were given to our school library. At Christmas time our yearly play and party were given.

First turn to your -and he was gone. I dashed wildly in pursuit and arrived, out of breath, on the third floor. Here a dance, given by the Thyrsus Club, was in progress. I started for the first floor. On my way down stairs I overheard two young men talking about the fun they had had at the annual Thyrsus Club picnic. On the nrst floor, I entered the library. See- ing that the librarian was busy, I glanced at some beautiful illustrated books which were on the table. In the front of these I discovered the words, Given by the Thyrsus Club. Just then my attention was attracted by a group of students ad- - N73-2, ,V I Y --..,.., I73l miring some pins. Drawing closer, I discovered the letter T on them. See- ing my interest, the group explained to me that they were the new Thyr- sus Club pins and courteously di- rected me to the office. Unfortunately the Principal was not in, but a girl was waiting in the office with a large poster about the coming Thyrsus Club play. I asked her what Thyrsus Club was. Ohl The dramatic club of the school, she responded, they give a Christmas play and party every year. Seeing my car, I darted out of the door with the phrase, Thyrsus Club, still ringing in my ears. I came to the conclusion that when one talks about Cranston High and its school spirit that all one needs to say is Thyrsus Club. EARNEST BARNES.

Under Miss Car- penter and the Library Circle, who work in co-operation, our library is thriving. .X GUUIJ l'l..Xl'li FUR BROWSING lt is remarkable to note how our school library has grown during the four short years that we, the class of '25, have been here. Without appro- priation from the city funds it has grown from the Eve hundred books it contained when we came as Fresh- men, to two thousand: and all these additional books have come because of the feeling of a real need. It con- tains not only reference books, but also books of fiction: thus it is not used entirely as a reference room but as a place of recreation also, and since it seats only thirty, many are often turned away. The pupils seem to enjoy going to the library even for reference work. And the reason can be readily seen: for besides having in- teresting books, there are many pic- tures and statues, portraying charac- ters from history and bookland, and an interesting bulletin board-all of which create an atmosphere adaptable to study. At present there is what is l 77 CLIPPING THE DAYS NEWS .J3 ai-- A larger number of pupils re- ported for the orchestra this year than in any previous year, They not only reported, but also came to practice faithfully. Several were Freshmen: but that does not imply that they were without orchestral ex- perience. Moreover, they have ex- cellent talent and will furnish hope- ful material for the Cranston High School Orchestra in the future. We were invited to play twice for the Parent-Teacher Association- once at a meeting and again at the Christmas sale. The girls of the or- chestra were asked to play at an as- sefmbly conducted by the girls of the school. Soon we shall be practising for graduation music. We shall be very fortunate in hav- ing all but one of our members next year, including Lowell Merrill, who has proved himself well suited for his position as concert master. The members are as follows: violins- Lowell Merrill. concert master: Spencer Worrall, Clinton Billson, Hugo Norden, Ruth Grant, Emily Millard, Gwendolyn Pettis, William Gorrie, Edna Follett, Carl Sverker. Robert Paine. Henry Paine, Earl Godfrey, John Moody, Ruty Makin, Milton Frazier, Gertrude Sullivan: cello, Alfreda Moody: viola, Spencer Worrall: cornet, Gerald Beane: flute, Carl Malmbor: drum, Earl An- drews: banjo-mandolin, Grace King, GRACE KING, '26. Girls' Glee Club In the past year a pleasant source of entertainment was found by the pupils of Cranston High School in the singing of the Girls' Glee Club at the Monday morning assemblies. After each of these musicals, several of the audience were overheard ex- pressing their enjoyment in the music. Among the songs were ballads, comic songs, and waltzes. At the opening of the semester, an election was held at which Louise Evers was chosen president and Mar- garet Marshall, secretary, by the I70l twelve girls of the club. The glee club met every Wednesday morning during the term and was drilled by Miss Mclnerney 'mid the buzz of sewing machines and the sound of young voices in the sewing class. The girls obtain much pleasure in prac- ticing under her leadership. In concluding, I wish the future glee clubs as much happiness in their singing as this one of l924-1925 has had. MABEL CLOUGH, '27. Sala ff MISS Kll'INliRX'l-IX' lCI.IZAHIC'I'H DENNIS MXSSIIC MERRILL ANDREWS Qctave Club Shortly after the spring term be- gan, the Octave Club was formed. A fitting name, since of the charter members only eight voted-and oc- tave in a musical sense means eight. The charter members voted that the meetings be held the first VJed- nesday of every month, when month- ly dues of fifteen cents are payable. They elected the following officers: President, Lowell Merrill: Vice- President. Earl Andrew: Secretary. Elizabeth Dennis, Treasurer, Gardi- ner Massie: Councilor, Miss Anna Mclnerney. Ar the first regular meeting of the club, which was held February 18 in 80 the school hall, the guest and speaker for the afternoon was Mrs. George Hall of the National Federation of Music. She stated that as far as is known, Cranston has the only school musical club in the state, and urged us to join the National Federation of Music Clubs. for through such action the club would obtain suggestions for its progress. The High School Parentf Teacher Association have helped us join this national organization by its generous donation of fifteen dollars, and the Octave Club will not forget this kind deed as it slowly but surely climbs the ladder of success.

I lived with my uncle, but he had hardly enough money for his own large family. For four years, I worked at odd jobs. Whenever I received a little money as wages, it seemed to go out again for bills. One night, when I was on my way home from a job- hunting expedition, I chanced to pass a boy who was selling New York papers. I spent two of my precious pennies for one When I got into the house I threw the paper on the table and flung myself into the mor ris chair I don t know whether I was dozmg or not but suddenly I felt someone poke me I looked up and saw my uncle standing over me with the paper and saying Heres your chance Bob Strange M11 lionaire Dies in New York Ap parently Without Will or Heir B crackyl If he hasn t got the same name as you have' I took the paper from him and started lazily to read the article Soon I became interested for the name was the same as my father s James A Brooks The article went on to say that the stranger had ar rived the day before from South America. He had been taken directly from the boat to the hospital. He had not been able to say very much, but his last words were, 'Tell my son that I earned my money honest- ly.' But nobody knew where the son was, I began to wonder if the stranger could possibly be my father. After talking it over with Uncle, he agreed to lend me the money to go to New York. Then I began to look about for something to identify myself. I had not even a birth certlficate A last I thought of the bedquilt which was up on the shelf yellow with age and gray with dust After it had been shaken thoroughly the names could be easily read Well to make a long story short I went to New York looked up the proper persons and had the case brought to court The family tree bedquilt was my only witness but it won the case Now boys do you wonder why I value this old yellow thing so dearly? finished Gramp No sireel Our boat IS about the best goin but that quilt IS too good for it' CATHERINE MACKAY 26 we-Y U1 N J Ein' . , - . t , . .

Well if you have you know how it seems to have your heart going double time and your mind triple time That one moment before you are called upon IS one that you always remember You marvel at the steadi ness of your voice as compared to your knees and internal feelings You make a small error which you dis cover later the audience did not no tice but which almost upsets your whole speech. After ages you finish You return to your seat, not hearing the applause. One great event of your life has passed. Such an event awaits everyone who intends to do any public speaking. Yet, Why cannot this experience come sooner? By the time one gets courage enough to speak before the assembled school, he has almost finished his four years. All too little of this speaking in l84l the hall is done by the students W should have more Those who do speak are called upon again and again Many announcements the Principal makes in a formal way that could be more forcibly given by students The school 1n past times has helped those who wished to speak by having classes in oral expresslon Now all our training in speaking is done after school thus making it un desirable to the student This tram ing is given only when one IS called upon to speak, thus leaving out those who have not shown ability in this line, but who may possess it. I think it would be a fine thing for the school authorities to help the students by re- storing a class in oral expression. I think there is enough get up in Cranston to start a Public Speaking Club. Can we not pull it through? H. DROITCOUR, '26.

Here it is early and cold and I have to start out on my days toil. No rest for an antiquated conveyance like me! How I ever keep on these tracks is a mystery to me. When we take the curves, I close my eyes and hope. I'm sick of carrying these cops over to Edgewood and back. If they were ordinary people, I wouldn't kick: but these Cranston cops are so flatten- ing. Ah! The fun is about to com- mence. I am now to convey the angry mob of Edgewood to the High School. Oh! such a ride! Everything i351 loose including the Freshmen ' thrown around. What celestial pow- ers keep me together? At last the High School comes to sight, and I am relieved of my stu- dious load. My keeper looks me over affectionately, with tears in his eyes, and begins to collect the pieces. Then, telling me in censored language his opinion of High School pupils in general, he steps on the air, and I creak slowly onward. Life is just one switch after another. Mine is a weary lot!

America sent her sturdy cowboy and cowgirl to the enchanted land.

And when the music had stopped, the dancers drank cool, exhilarating punch. Slowly the minutes ticked on un- til at last before the spell might be broken, the magic throng returned to other lands, other places. And now all that remains is the memory-the memory of one of my happiest times at Cranston High School.

The officers elected for the year were 1-larry Seelen, President: Marriott Evers, Vice-President: Wil- liam Thornton. Secretary: Louis Cook, Treasurer: and Robert Mar- shall, Louis Cook, and Howard Hod- sdon, Delegates to the League. Football was started with good prospects of a successful year under the tutelage of Mr. Merritt and lklr. Reeves. On account of the expenses of the football season and a debt ac- quired last year, the Association was in need of money. To raise this de- 9 si-zi-:1,i-:N 'riioRx'i'oN l'ri'.ti1l1'r1l S1'zr1'lt1r',v sired amount, a Tag Day was held with great success. The hockey season was passed through with fair success. After this the Annual Minstrel Show, held March 28-29, netted nearly 5300. XVith only a few letter men Mr. Merritt and Mr. Reeves will attempt to form a baseball team for the 1925 season. Much stress will be laid on the track team under Mr. Reeves's di- rection. As the 1924-25 season draws to a close, we hope that the students will support their teams, whether in vic- tory or defeat, as well as the students of past years have supported theirs. f 1-L: :f'f:vLZT..AQQ f .

Handi- capped by lack of material. Coaches Reeves and Merritt worked hard and built up a team which, although not winning a majority of its games, showed plenty of pluck and good sportsmanship. The first game was a heavy hitting contest, played against Woonsocket. The score was l7-l l in favor of our opponents. Pawtucket won the sec- ond game of the season, 9-3, and Commercial managed to obtain an 8-3 verdict in the third contest. The fourth game, played against Class- ical, was hotly contested, but the op- position was just a little too strong for our boys. who lost 9-6. East Providence won the next game, l l-9, and Hope Street High School handed us a 6-O shut-out in the sixth game. This contest ended the first round of play, and Cranston resolutely set out to do better in the second round. Woonsocket, the League leaders, fl Ol won the first game, but our boys put up a good ight. ln the next game Vvlest Warufick managed to squeeze out an 8-7 victory. Our team finally hit its stride in the game with Com- mercial, and won, 8-5. The team extended its winning streak to the next game. and defeated Classical. 7-3. On the following playing day, we met our old rival. East Provi- dence. Our boys put up a fine battle, but their opponents managed to win, 9-8. In the last two games, the team gave Hope quite a scare, and ended the season by burying West War- wick, lO-4. Two of our boys won places on all-star teams. Prior filled the third base position on the Journal all-star first team, while Friedman obtained the left-Held position on the second team. Coaches Reeves and Merritt are going to do their best to turn out a successful team for 1925, and are looking forward to having a large squad to work with. l Football I ,. nsibs. Q., '. .

It was a nghting team. Prom the first whistle. the line fought hard, no matter whether we were losing or winning. Although the backneld was light, it compared fa- vorably with any backfield in the league in speed. stamina, and all- around football ability. The first game was with Paw- tucket on our home Held. Our oppo- nent was heralded as a possible pen-- nant winner: and of course we were a bit skeptical about the outcome of the game. Any doubts were quickly dispersed. however. after the game got under way. The Cranston back- field. helped by the line. continually plunged through holes in the oppos- ing forward wall. ln the second half, the backfteld employed a deceptive aerial attack which carried the opposi- tion ofl its fcet. Although com- pletely outplayed. Pawtucket man- aged to protect her goal line. and the game ended. deadlocked at O-0. Cranston won the second game from Commercial 6-O. and defeated Classical on the following Priday by the same score. Both games were featured by the clean. fast. Hne play- ing of our nghting team. lllll The fourth game was played with Past Providence away from home. liast Providence was leading the League, and our team. accompanied by a truck load of cheering fans, went out after her scalp. The first quar- ter was all Cranston. but for the re mainder of the game, the heavy line and backfield of the opposing team could not be stopped. Cranston went down Hghting on the short end of a Z5-O score. The defeat was a bitter pill for the enthusiastic fans to swal- low. but they had the satisfaction of knowing that our team did its best. 'Woonsocket defeated us on our home field in the next game. 13-O. The sixth game, played against YVQSI XVarwick. was also lost. Crans- ton fought hard. but could do no more than register a lone touchdown. The score was 27-6. In the last game of the season. the heavy and experienced Hope High team had all it could do to squeeze out a O-O victory. The score was the the result of two field goals. Much credit is due Messrs. Reeves, Merritt. and Thompson for their ex- cellent coaching. Two of our boys were chosen for all-star positions: lirling Qwren at end. and Harry Seelen at tackle. ,-f -'?g'N-N1 ff' cs2ANwmjN mnnmnmmunnun 2,29 . , V I 1 'gh if -1 F' H ' gi., iw-1 Fa ,--4 :ESI QE, ii . 7.1 451 ,.'.lr UW lI'Y 3-41, Eg Hockey .F , wif 1-5 1-E ,N 's L , E 'C . 1 WILLIAMS BATES A ALLEY ONI 'NIR 'VIERRITT SEELEN PRIOR PETTIGRFW DROITCOUR SUNTDQUIST C pta I104 E E L .

Our defense, how- ever, had a good opportunity to prove its stonewall solidity. The boys re- solutely decided to do better in the next game, which was played with Commercial. Our opponents put up a hard fight, but we won, 2-O. Th: working of the team as a whole was like the working of a great machine. When a Commercial forward came near our goal, he was immediately in- tercepted by our sterling defense. The large crowd of spectators went home. satisfied that they had seen a great match, I 105 -SQ Our next game played with East Pros idence was much the same O casionally an East Providence for ward would break through our de fense but our goal tender was quite capable of preventing the puck from shooting into the cage Our team s speed and accuracy were the out standing features of the game In the final game of the season, we lost to Classical, 2-0. Cranston played a good game in the first half, but in the second half the team just failed to get organized and literally fell to pieces. Classical broke through our defense time and again, and only the fine playing of our goal-tender prevented her from rolling up a larger score. The .season as a whole may be called successful: and, had a second round been played, it is not assuming too much to say that another pennant would have been hanging in our hall. l iinnmnmununmmmm .

Despite the fact that the team had no indoor floor on which to practice, the candidates went through several tuning-up sessions on our school Held before the outdoor season started. Under the efficient coaching of Mr. Reeves, several men were in good condition by May 10, when the Rhode Island State College meet was held. Our team made a fair showing. Those winning points were Cummings, third in the broad jump, and Droitcour, second in the pole vault. The relay team, com- posed of Osborne, McNamara, Wood, and Cummings, took fourth place. At the Rhode Island Junior Inter-- scholastic Meet, the school was cred- ited with sixteen points, taking third place, The point winners were A. Allenson, first in the high jump and second in the broad jump: Alsfeld, third in the mile-run: Greene, third in the shot-put: and Anthony, fourth in the high jump. Our relay team, made up of Owren, Read. Haines, and Allenson, Won second place. 107 Hn IIN: M ,l'll 'l1 l lm!!! The track team took third place in the Brown Rhode Island Senior In- terscholastic Meet, which is consid- ered by track followers to be the most important meet of the season. Twenty-five points were scored by our representatives, distributed as fol- lowsf Cummings, second in the 220- yard dash, third in the 100-yard dash. second in the broad jump, and fourth in the discus throw: Droit- cour, Hrst in the pole vault: Johnson, third in the mile-run: and Merrill, Hrst in the hammer throw. Merrill made a new record in his event, hurl- ing the hammer 151 feet, 8 inches. The former record of 139 feet was held by his brother. Merrill entered the hammer throw in two other meets, taking first place in the Brown New England Inter- scholastic Meet, and second in the il-Iarvard Interscholastic Meet. Material for the 1925 season looks good. A majority of last year's let- ter men are at Cranston for this sea- son, and Coach Reeves hopes to make an even better showing with his team this year. nw l I L Tm' - - - V -ar.: ,. - jfrifaa . dxf-L:.,T . f ..e .V A x , 4 4' v - . -M i,,,,,,,l , .-we : fr--. - '.,,l i. ,. ,lA.xT. , .V 3 I .-. ,, ., ,.,, , ., X Tennis 1924 The tennis season was opened by the election of L.

Few responded to the call for candidates for our first golf team. A banquet was held at the Metacomet Golf Club, and a tournament was arranged to be played on three courses: the Meta- comet, the Wannamoisett, and the Agawam Hunt. Technical, Classical, Commercial, Cranston, Rogers, East Providence, and Hope Street High Schools entered the tournament. Rep- resented by only two men, our school made a poor showing. 109 The golf season of 1924 brought about another call for candidates. This time Edward Caldwell. Sumner Tanner. Milton Goff, and Milton Patterson responded. The tourna- ment was played, and Cranston made a fair showing. This year a greater number should turn out. Certainly from a school of over three hundred boys, more than four ought to know the pleasures of golf.

The girls come together for fun and sport. since it provides the means for both. From the time of the nrst meeting in September when the officers for the year are elected, the G. A. A. has filled up every minute. In Septem- ber, basket ball practice began under the direction of the new coach, Miss Johnson, successor to Miss Perry, who resigned before her marriage. As a token of appreciation of Miss Perry's service, the girls. later in the year, presented her with a beautiful picture. ln October the girls played their annual role of hostess to the Freshmen by means of the annual A'Freshman Mixer, at which each upper classman had a Freshman as her guest. The president, Helen Bowerman, told the Freshmen the ad- vantages of belonging to the G. A. A. Entertainment. refreshments, and dancing were enjoyed: and the Fresh- men are still heard to say that it's the best thing they've ever attended. On November 11, the girls hiked to Skeleton Valley, where they enjoyed themselves greatly. A short while before school closed last June, a girls' tennis team was formed. Matches were played with girls from other high schools, in which Cranston girls were usually victorious. Besides tennis and bas- ket ball, there are practice baseball and track for the annual meet with East Providence High School at Rocky Point, on Arbor Day. Last year, unfortunately, it rained, and everything was halted. This year, however, the girls are looking to more strenuous work, and greater success than ever before. At present a committee is working on plans for the annual May show, which we hope will be as fine a suc- cess as the one last year.

The tags were printed by members of our school. On December 19, students stood with boxes and tags at doors, stairs, and in corridors. Many were tagged upon entering. Others were seen walking around hunting for some one with tags. Our first Tag Day was a complete success, thanks to the teachers and students for their school spirit which manifested itself in so practical a way. We even surpassed our expectation in the sum we needed. This year our Thanksgiving pro gram was left in the hands of the Junior class. To begin with the or chestra played several selections after which Helen Hogan interestingly and cleverly told us what we had to be thankful for. The Senior class was represented in the person of Elinor Margeum who recited a poem. Then came the great hit. A chorus of five boys consisting of Earl Hughes Marriott Evers Carl Malmborg Erling Owren and Howard Droitcour sang three selections which concluded About the middle of the first sem ester we were told how important the care of our eyesight is and what to do under certain circumstances To make the talk more vivid stere opticon views illustrated the points made. In order to leave us with pleasant thoughts over the Christmas vaca tion the Seniors held their annual dance December 19. Miss Carpenter Miss Towne Mrs. Martin Mrs tl-' --A-' Jenkins, Mr. Bosworth and Mr. and Mrs. Fenner acted as patrons and pa- tronesses. Two of the undergradu- ates served punch. During the inter- mission ice cream was served. From that time on we danced in a tangle of paper streamers which were thrown about with much enthusiasm and vivacity until eleven when the orchestra played Good Night, La- dies,' and we all made our adieux. On February 12 we were reminded of our great President Lincoln by two people of our own community Mrs. Staples of Auburn and Lieu- tenant Newman of the Richard Den HIS Post of Edgewood Mrs Staples gave us a few facts from Lincolns life and read us a patriotic poem Then Lieutenant Newman talked to us about the war and impressed upon us how the glory of our great states men had spread all over the world and how even the peasants in France knew of our Lincoln the emanci pator of the slaves We of the class of 25 certainly are graduating in a year full of wonders On January 24 we were able to wit ful things that will ever happen the total eclipse of the sun Everyone found a favorable spot and with his smoked glass or some other device to look through watched the great light of the sun slowly being blotted out By about 9 15 throughout Cranston the sun looked like a big black spot surrounded with bright rays while the three stars Jupiter Venus and Mercury came out to look on in won derment Gradually the light re turned and all who had stopped re sumed their work much inspired Q 5 1 1 I 0 an Q C 1 q Z 1 I 'I fl I1 Ilili 'INN F?

S. by'Mr. Flint Grinnell, Manager of the Better Busi- ness Bureau of Providence. He told us in assembly what the Better Busi- ness Bureau was, its work, what it had accomplished in former years, and ended with a few suggestions as to the best way to success. Just as We are about to leave Cran- ston High School, rumor spreads it around that a new High School is to be built. Of course we all feel much put out because we shall reap no ben- efit from it and we envy those who will be able to eat without being in dread of sailing frankforts and those who will get a chance to recite more than twice a week: but we have been favored in so many other ways dur- ing our stay at Cranston that all we are going to do is extend our congrat- ulations to those who will have the benefit of a new building and hope that they will proiit by it. Within the last year crossword puzzles have taken the country by StOrm. No paper is up to date with- out one, the cartoonists rely on them for material, even some of the teachers of foreign languages have made cross- word puzzles in the language they teach for their pupils to work out. The whole country has gone mad over this latest craze. Where people used to say, Good morning-How are you? they now say, What's a 5-letter Word meaning rascal? or something similar. But then Mr. Bosworth informs us there is nothing new under the sun and invites us to go look at the crossword puzzle on l K.,-,f Miss Holt's bulletin board done in the time of the Romans: which al- though not exactly like those of to- day, is enough like them to be their brother, proving that they did exist, in a certain way, even before the Birth of Christ. On Monday, March 3, Miss James, a librarian from R. l. C. E., spoke to us. Realizing the difficulties that High School pupils have in de- ciding what work to do when they graduate, she came to interest us in the career of librarian. She said she had been a librarian for several years and found it delightful work. She gave us a glimpse into library work, and told of its different branches. Library work has many advantages and few disadvantages in comparison. For anyone who likes books and has a desire to give service, the field of librarianship is always open. Along with all the other interest- ing events, comes that of an earth- quake on the evening of March 7. About Rhode Island it was not at all severe, the houses rocking for only a few seconds. In Canada it origin- ated and was most severe. Many, again, thought the end of the world had come, but it affected most of us differently. For instance, Miss Bar- rett, who seldom ever gets angry with even the most unruly person, in bed at the time, was very cross at the thing that was causing her bed to rock, and she has a hearty laugh whenever she thinks how she became cross at an earthquake. Of late the Glee Club has burst into full bloom and twice they have given us a little concert in Monday Morning Assembly.

This year, as usual, the club is under the direction of Miss Mclnerny, with Louise Evers as President and Mar- garet Marshall as Secretary. As we have gone through High School we have noticed that C. H. S. has never done things by halves and in some cases they have done things twofold. We have instituted a Stu- dent Council and an Honor Society: We have had good intentions in ath- letics: we have tried our best to make it a worth-while school: and before we leave, we want to speak of some of the things done in twofold man- ner, but not by us, but by fate. It is the people with twin names we are thinking of especially. Let's see. There is Miss Thompson, our Eng- lish teacher, and Mr. Thompson, our science teacher: Miss Cogswell, a Commercial teacher, and Miss Cogs- well, a Freshman teacher. Mr. Rey- nolds, a history teacher, and Miss Reynolds, a Latin teacher, who 'left a short time ago to be married: Miss Carpenter, our English teacher, and Mr. Carpenter, a janitor: Mr. Reeves, a Physical Training teacher, and Miss Reeves, a Substitute. Was it because the first were so good that the second received positions here, or is it another instance of doing things completely or not doing them at all? Mr. Snyder, a man who had been a memberlof the Dawes Commission in France and one who had had a great deal of experience in this coun- try and abroad, was another of our good speakers. Keep down to busi- ness in these days, for you are about the age, he said, at which you are going over 'fool's hill.' Do not give up, or be tempted easily, but perse- vere: plod on, and amount to some- thing: be courageous: for many of those that have fallen are the ones who at this age of life cast aside their opportunities for something easier. This was the plea he made to us. He based his appeal on the necessity of carrying on the work so nobly done by the Americans who died in the war. On Monday, April 13, the speaker was Miss. Grace Lee Scott, a delegate of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Miss Scott is an attractive singer who gave up her art at home to devote herself to our boys in France during the war. She told us something of her work there, and of her talks with the French people and with the soldiers. She asked us girls to abstain from everything that might make us seem to be lowered from the ideal which American men hold of Women. Always try to be a true-blue girl, she said, not coarse, not doing a thing to be a good sport. not cheapening yourself to be popu- lar. The boys were exhorted to be honorable and worthy of their coun- try and their race.

At most times, you like an ice cream soda, and at most times you like a joke: but there comes a time in your life. when you wish that you had never seen or tasted a soda,-when, doubling up in agony. you vow recklessly that you would give all last week's allow- ance, all this week's allowance, and all allow- ances to come, if all the ice cream sodas in the corner drug store were at the bottom of the Red Sea. There also comes a time when you have had too many jokes,-when you feel not like doubling yourself in agony, but like doubling up the joker in agony. Before breakfast is not the time for an ice cream soda. and neither is it the time for a joke. Everything has its own time and place. A joke is by no means an exception to this rule, for a joke told out of time and out of place is no longer a joke, but a crime. A joke is decidedly out of place in a rain storm, for rain storms always seem to come up when you are wearing your new spring hat for the first time, and when your um- brella is at home. safely and serenely standing in the hall umbrella ra:k. When your hat resembles no longer a hat, but a storm-beaten Hower garden. when you feel as though you were wading in the Mississippi River, then comes that ignorant one, who takes what little joy there is left in life, by asking, I-low's the weather? Wet? There is one person who is especially cruel when he jokes. That person is the doctor. He walks in, views you calmly. as you lie burning up with one hundred and six de- grees fever, sticks a thermometer in your mouth, and when you feel sure that he is about to murder you, says. Hal Hal Thought you'd take a rest from school, didn't you? Ha, hal You feel that the only reason why that doctor doesn't land on his head on the pave- ment below, is your weak legs. But life is hard, for the only thing you can do is to try to smash his thermometer with your teeth. l do not see how a dentist, one who seems so near being a murderer. can be cheerful, but he always is. He ushers you into his waiting room, and tells you a joke on prohibition: takes you into his special room of torture, and tells you a joke about an undertaker: and when you feel as though all your teeth were out, and that the kindest thing that dentist could do would be to give you a little strychnine, he grins, gives a terrinc yank, and proudly viewing the results of his labor, says. Well, that's one less tooth to brush! There are thousands of other times and places in which a joke does not belong, but I feel sure that humanity as a whole would rise and rejoice if a law were passed. pro- hibiting joking under these three circum- stances which l have mentioned. lf you want to be appreciated by your family. if you want to be honored among men. and. above all. if you do not want to be slain at the hand of one who has just heard your pleasantries, look to the time and place of your jokes!
